Hi Everyone! I am currently reading the new Caleb Carr novel The Angel of Darkness and there is a ferret mentioned in there named Mike! He is a ferret who is used in burgleries to "sniff" out items and in the novel is being used to find a little girl. I am not sure how accurate this is because I don't know if a ferret could be trained to do this like a dog can but it is still neat to see one crop up in a current novel.
